It is a lovely Midge sculpt doll dressed as a Chinese Empress (1996-Barbie-Chinese-Empress-Doll-Great-Eras-Collection). I'm not the biggest fun of this face nor the Heart Family but this one couth my attention as Mattel often used her do produce Native American dolls. I definitely have no luck with these...
she is sharing her duty with Teresa which is much better idea... later Goddess mold is obviously much more suitable and attractive!
Mattel has a long, ancient and recent, history of so called 'Asian Dolls' in traditional clothes. Only recently the mold became more appropriate... and as much as I love my new doll I cannot understand why Miko is not the impersonator...
She arrived in non attractive envelope packaging (only one level above the mummy package;-)
missing shoes and most of her accessories...
as you may heard she has extremely silly hair - long and wavy at outline yet short and curly on top of her head to pit/fill the fancy hat she used to wear originally...
When it came to her transformation I was very confused - tried to streighten the top and cut the rest, or cut the front and make a huge afro. Saw people 'partially rerooting' her but its like 3/4 of head in the end (and do I want her to look like a Native American?)
help me!
In teh end I decided to put her fair back, conceal the short one within the long ones which I curled using pipe cleaners and hot water...
<3
the result is lovely as she has got really high quality hair.
I'm still not sure about styling (and she has TnT body which sets some limits) - she is rocking my hand-made meta-Benetton jacket and khaki top and skirt. With her horse riding boots she has a little bit Mexican or Argentinian vibe but maybe I cannot control that completely in the end...

Wow, jest prześliczna mimo bardzo charakternej twarzy i dziwacznego, oryginalnego uczesania.
